The town of Catstrophe has been infiltrated by three ne'er do gooders once again!

So Gum Girl retaliates in super gummy style! In a second adventure Grace notices that all the colour is draining out of objects (including herself!). Bemused and alarmed, she follows the disappearing trail of colour to none other than ... Pigment Princess! The outrageous Pigment P wants to control the colour scheme of all in Catastrophe! Someone has to stop her! And at a Fancy Dress Day at Calamity Primary, the school is sabotaged by Stick Man - an ex-counterfeiter of banknotes who accidently slipped into the photocopier during one of his scams and became who he is today. His special skill: copying himself. His mission? to erase all individuality. Gum Girl has her own ideas about everything becoming the same and sets about wiping out his crazy plans.

An hilarious collection of stories exploding with villains, pop-culture, adventure and fun and ideal for entertaining young readers, both girls and boys.
Sometimes there just aren't enough hours in the day – especially for tidying rooms, doing chores and homework. But when the school bell goes before lunch has even begun, and at break time before there's even a chance to play (plus there's a dodgy-looking van zapping things hidden round the corner) Grace knows something really must be up! Taking on her super stretchy guise as Gum Girl, Grace sets out to investigate. Not only is Doctor Tick Tock stealing Time and bottling it for his own use, the Roller Derby coach has explosive plans to flatten the whole of Catastrophe, and one of the ex-Evil Genius After School Club members has devised an almost irreversible anti-gravity that will test all of Gum Girl's bubble blowing skills. Find out how Gum Girl tackles the mayhem in another terrific addition to her adventures.
